The US Potash operation outside Carlsbad NM had a bunker in the side of a hill for unloading explosives. Metal doors on the outside, WOODEN rails spiked 3’ apart on the inside! It was still there in 2000-2001.

I’d like to imagine they used the ex-Death Valley Railroad/ex-NWP boxcars but honestly I have no idea.
